There are lots of magic tricks you can perform with your smartphone, usually using some combination of real-world objects (like, say, cards) and an app.

As you can see, it’s a pretty good piece of prestidigitation. I’ve dabbled in magic since I was a kid, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this.

Whether you’re into magic or just looking for a cool way to impress people at parties, this is worth a look.
